Cd dvd drives disabled on home computer...how am i to fix as i cannot connect to internet on said computer

\015 Cd and dvd not working and am unable to connect to internet to solve this ...what are my options\015

Answers :

Hello,\015\012\015\012You can get the model of the drives from the device manager and search for drivers or firmware on another machine. Then use a flash drive or cd to copy the information over.\015\012\015\012I would also check the jumpers on the back of the drives to make sure that you don't have them both set to either master or slave. They have to be opposite if they are on the same cable.\015\012\015\012Hope this helps. Please remember to rate this information.\015\012\015\012Thanks

Router problem. Time Warner had a internet problem last Sunday, April 26 here in the Northeast. They fixed it, but our internet still didn't function properly as it did before the TWC problem. Very slow connections and timing out most of the time. Talked to TWC tech person, and found out that internet was fine to my main computer, but when the router was hooked up the problem came back. Netgear WGR614 v4. Only thing TWC said was to try and change channel. We tried but problem still exists.

I have a WD MyBook 1 TB external hard drive that I cannot access. Receive an error message in Windows Explorer (Vista Home Premium) that the drive can't be accessed due to an I/O error. It shows up in Windows Explorer but when I try to access it usually locks up Explorer or eventually gives the above message. Is it possible to fix an I/O error? WD Tech Support said that error is caused by a disk partition problem and if I return the drive for warranty replacement I lose all the data.
